We headed up to the San Francisco Zoo and spent a few hours walking around checking out all the animals. The girls had a blast so I think we will be heading back soon. I enjoy them so much and I love spending time looking at the world through their eyes. It's so fun to see what they see for the first time and to share in their wonder and excitement.
The funny thing is Addison is calling everything Daddy or Mommy for some reason. Looking at the gorillas she said "Look, that's you Daddy!". She said the same thing at the grizzly bear but I said "no, that"s Mommy". She then went and pulled Alicia over to show her and yelled out as loud as she could "Look, that's you Mommy!!". The other people in the crowd thought that was pretty funny. I said "I taught her that".
Okay, hopefully nobody will mind if I take a break from posting pictures of baby Brynn to get back to some regularly scheduled programming. This little cutie is 1 year old Samantha. I did Samantha's newborn shots and I always enjoy going back to spend time with her family. I had fun playing trains and cars with her and her older brother. Last time he was so timid and shy that I had had to include a picture of him now.
My photographer friend Alisha Robertson from Atlanta came out and spent the weekend with us and we all had a blast. She is an amazing photographer and it was so fun to see her work her newborn magic while taking pictures of my own newborn baby. We also took a day trip down to Monterey to check out the aquarium and do some family shots around Cannery Row. Poor Alisha froze her butt without the 1000% humidity she is accustomed to in Georgia.
Thank you Alisha for these awesome photos of our family and baby girl!
I just wanted to post a few more pictures from Brynn's first week of being home. It's been so much fun having a newborn again and I have to say that having one is soooo much easier than having two. The twins are doing great and we have been having so much fun together. We had a big camping trip in the backyard the other night that was a lot of fun. Stay tuned for some pictures of that adventure.
I cant believe that tomorrow our new baby is going to be 1 week old already. I know this newborn time will be over before I know it and I'm trying to do my best to enjoy it as much as possible while trying to keep the twins entertained. With all of that I'm finding it difficult to do some real newborn photos of baby Brynn and she hasnt exactly cooperated the way I would like just yet. I blame her mother. Here she is from day 5 and 6. Oh, and a special guest appearance by miss Morgan.
We came home from the hospital today and everything is going great. I went and picked up the girls and brought them to the hospital to meet their new baby sister before we left. Here is a picture of the girls checking out baby Brynn but be sure to check out the slideshow by clicking the play arrow.
